Dr Paul Martin & surprise 2 GB ally
A most enlightening interview.
First Ben Fordham invites Paul to convince him that helmet laws are passé, and then he admits to Paul & 2GB listeners far & wide that he hates wearing helmets!!!!
* he just doesn't like it
* they're hot on his head
* unnecessary 99.9% of the time
* if he's just riding to shops, does he want to put one on? (rhetorical - clearly he does not!)
Wooja-get-outa-town! What a conversation! - & he wants to know what we think because he knows it's:
...not setting best example, but
...he doesn't like wearing them
...he's really carefull
...he's not going a million miles an hour
...& he can pretty much back himself that nothing's going to happen
Why don't you let him know your thoughts, & call him on 131 873 or send him an email at ben@2gb.com
How exciting - how refreshing!

You could have knocked me over with a feather, Sue! :-D
ReplyDeleteBTW: that bikeway that I'm standing on in the photograph has *still* not been restored since the January flooding... but all roads have.
...I did wonder about your beautiful bikeway - & how typical that motorists should continue to be indulged!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Paul
ReplyDeleteI emailed him to say how refreshing it was to hear his comments blah blah blah and that he should join the campaign. He responded with an "I'm in!". I think you should definitely try and get him to do another story on it and start a campaign on air to make helmets optional.
Good luck! LSS
Yay!!!! -way to go, you!
